Summer Child

(album: In The Time Of Gods - 2012)

The summer child is running
The summer child is running again
The summer child is running
The summer child is running again

When you hear the feet and the sound of laughter
Better step aside for the mayhem after
Here she comes
Yeah, the summer child is running again

It's the stormy season
Lighting flashes through the air
And the water bugs are busy
Spinning backwards in the rain

The summer child is running
Summer child is running again
The summer child is running
Summer child is running again

And they're spinning out like old tin tops
One of them is down and all time stops
Now she's up
Yeah, the summer child is running again

Come my freezing daughter
Brave the icy water
Enter slowly under cherry blossoms
Racing as you see the gates of summer

There is time and time to come
Underneath the golden sun
And forever will melt slowly
In a glass of lemonade

And oh, she's coming running
And oh, she's coming running again
The summer child is running
The summer child is running again

Better have a seat
'Cause you won't run past her
Try to take it in
Every year she's faster

Here she comes
Yeah, the summer child is running again
The sun is shining
And the summer child is running again
